I rarely quote a headline verbatim, but this one’s got me particularly good. I had a post here trashing the guy on the left for being an asshole to the little girl. However, after further examination and insight, I’m still trashing the guy on the left. However, I’m adding the guy on the right as well. They look too much alike for my comfort. I think this one’s staged and the reporter did about as poor a job researching his story as you can, so I’m adding the reporter to the list as well.
